    Updating after bricked phone - success?

    So like many others on this forum, I had a Nexus 5X for 1 1/2 years before it bricked in early January. Seems there was a known hardware defect from LG that one of the recent android updates caused. Google admitted that in a roundabout way and replaced my phone with a refurbished one even...

    Nexus 5 microphone issue?

    Replying to myself on this one because I had an "ah-ha" moment and i'm wondering if anyone else may be doing the same. While on a call sound quality was good, then I coughed, right after the sound faded as i've been experiencing. That got me to realize that the slight cough movement caused...

    Nexus 5 microphone issue?

    read through the posts and it seems like I have a similar problem. while on a call the other side can hear me fine, but the person i'm talking to fades in/out every few seconds. goes from hearing them perfectly clear to sounding like they're wispering. I use my phone for work a lot so i'm...

    Where to buy Nexus 7 speaker assembly??

    not trying to hijack this thread, but my speakers are full of static. anyone know where to find some external/portable speakers for the N7? don't have to be $100, just something to listen to that won't be full of static.

    8 gb in stores?

    Got it. Just had a recent shipping mishap with my place of dwelling, so i'd much rather pick it up in person. Don't really need a 16 gb, but if that's what it takes to avoid shipping drama, then so be it.

    Yet another ICS Battery thread

    I think you may be onto something... I had my notifications as "inactive", and it prevents you from selecting "refresh interval". Didn't notice that my refresh interval was still set to 1 hour even though the notifications were set to inactive. May be to early to tell, but I've changed it...

    Android OS is eating my battery!

    same issue for me, OS is always #1 culprit. haven't figured it out, but something isn't letting the phone sleep. like others have said in the battery problems since ICS thread, the phone stays hot even when asleep (which means it isn't sleeping). so i think the phone gets hot, then that is...
